I had to fall back on a mustardy vinaigrette (with the remaining teaspoon or so of mayo from what turned out to be a nearly empty jar stirred in) but it still worked. I served it with tacos with grilled portobello mushrooms but the next time I make it, it might be dinner all by itself.tariqatanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17114759.post-4482716738244664672012-06-26T14:21:52.567-04:002012-06-26T14:21:52.567-04:00Debra--Happy to help you use up your zucchini!

Published in 1987, it&#39;s called &#39;Nanny&#39;s Texas Table&#39; by Larry Ross... many wonderful, simple vegetable recipes from the Houghton Ranch in West Texas. Do you know this book? Is it required Texan cookbook reading? Thanks again for all your recipes, Lisa. I probably make your chipotle chicken tacos twice a month. - KrisKrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17114759.post-83870425152224735042012-06-18T18:43:39.135-04:002012-06-18T18:43:39.135-04:00Since I write about people who farm, I feel compel...Since I write about people who farm, I feel compelled to ask: although what you say is true about the lack of space in NY, are New Yorkers finding more and more tiny spaces where they can grow a few veggies?<br /><br />Because they&#39;re an awful inventive bunch of folks.Shelleyhttp://dustbowlpoetry.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17114759.post-23971787369756396952012-06-18T09:24:19.030-04:002012-06-18T09:24:19.030-04:00Your Grandma A&#39;s secret ingredient was Durkee ...Your Grandma A&#39;s secret ingredient was Durkee sauce.Revdbethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17114759.post-25240122988072085282012-06-18T09:22:59.929-04:002012-06-18T09:22:59.929-04:00Rikki--Yay!
